Here universal spirit is what reason is, linked together with divine law, and explicit truth. In the decline of the Republic and also in the middle ages when the Teutonic philosophy expanded when a gulf has arisen and reality is no longer satisfying and acquired a love of knowledge,
Remarkable they never raise above their senses, so accustomed to consider excepting mere imagines that they do not give us assurance of truth. Can seeing or hearing ever assures us of anything if knowledge does not intervene?

Knowledge rests upon a higher good, all things become useful and advantageous only by good, and everyone pursues it and makes it their end of all actions. Knowledge in the case of virtue plays the inner principle role that carries out good.

There is nothing more wholly unbounded or extending in every direction then space. It is not connected to anything or any condition truly is mediationless indifference. Nothing effects space even though things are in it existing side-by-side but they do not interrupt each other.

Space is free abstraction as Hegel believed whole abstract self-externality. Whereas time is the collapse of this immediate sameness, the unfolding of things is what makes time.

Time is the truth of all things, even though time dissolves, flows away and passes over into another moment it is our only standpoint. For example, Achilles the flower of Greek life and Alexander The Great, the infinitely powerful individual, they did not endure only their deeds, only their efforts remain.

Mastering all this knowledge sought truth and not be content with false reasoning. Keep them in memory sift out all that is embraced in knowledge gives so much pleasure.

Socrates talked to Phaedrus about and the nourishment of truth and reason. Knowledge demands in the first place philosophers who are willing to exalt profound thought and eternal ideas. Freedom of thought may be regarded as the prima facie but is an other sense it is not.

It is only in modern times that philosophy, has been separated. For example, Aristotle physics is far more philosophical then physics, it is only in modern times that philosophy and science have been separated. Philosophy is very closely united to nature and so to speak, is the ultimate and absolute truth of consciousness.

Scientific procedure will continue to be ignorant analogy passed off as knowledge, because scientist think Nature is another, and we sentient creatures are other then Nature. The only high privilege of animals is their voice its utterance of self-feeling. Metals do sound but do not have specific quality until it galvanized from outside. In order for something to sound, it requires continuity, homogeneity. The outside impact is sound, it affects our innermost feelings, and because of sound our inner being is revealed, feelings come into existence.

For example, metals have their own specific sound, like the sound of silver and brass. Different substances emit different sounds; Chladni has observed, whalebone emits a, tin, b, silver, d, cologne pipes, e, copper, g, glass, C. Sound produced by vibration are tones, harmony occurs when two strings act at the same time, whereas disharmony produces only noise. Tones are dependent on differences in continuity, distance, and tension, if for example, an instrument is stringed or wind, its difference will depend on these three differences, uniformity continuity, distance, and tension. Tones too depend on these three differences are effected by carrying the string over a bridge attached to an instrument, the shorter the string, the more vibration it acts. In wind instruments is akin to sensation, are made to vibrate, the higher the tone, the shorter the pipe in which a column of air, and being either pleasant or unpleasant.

Knowledge is the requisite above all to establish certainty. Consider also the endeavor is attained by pulling from the mind all the wrong opinions, cultivating reason, and advancing in truth. Knowledge is the instrument of reason comes on the scene and liberates and carries out reason.
Images can never assure us of anything, if knowledge does not intervene. The mind does not change only place outside the mind. Knowledge is science, knowing the ultimate absolute truth means to exercise reason. Come little by little; raise your mind to everything that gives knowledge.

In mind, there is immediate reflection into self that the sphere of feeling; distinguishes wakefulness from sleep is the numb unconscious unfeeling self in the sphere of life. Mind lodged in the body as a pilot is very closely united to nature, so to speak is derived from nature.

Knowledge, I am not only speaking of it but reason, the ideas of beauty, goodness, justice, and holiness, all of which are stamped essence.

How astonishing by the use of my senses I have knowledge that I previously knew. The process of recovering knowledge might be rightly termed recollection.

Those who know only remember, consequently, knowledge is recollection.

What will be the consequences there holds reason. In other words, I suppose something to be or not to be, the consequences I must look at in relation to self and to anything else which supposed either to be or not to be.

Anything that comes into being moves in place in nature. If I changed, I cease to be myself, no longer me. This is motion if I moved in place, I must either move round n the same place, or from one place to another. And that which moves in a circle must rest upon a center; and that which goes round upon a centre must have parts, which are different from the center.

I ask the gentlepeople Light Influence on the color of feathers and hair, skin; is an effect of climate, of heat and light. Goethe remarked that the colors of feathered creatures plumage is determined by the action of light and in the internal organs. Also, in general, Goethe believed, white, and black, yellow, orange and brown are interchanged in a variety of mixture of colors resulting from an organic combination a more or less level of development,

The color of fish is brought out in warmer climates which affect the water, it intensifies them, beautifies its being. The plumage and colors of birds light affect is remarkable, for instance in certain parrots, the breast feathers are really yellow, but the part that stands out and catches the light is intensified from yellow to red, then on the breast of such birds looks deep red but if you blew into the feathers you would find the color yellow instead of the red. In this there is a marked difference between the uncovered feathers and the covered up.
Here I am with hundreds of pages of philosophy, which gives much joy in sifting out all the questions embraced in knowledge. I commence with the most simple and general science, that everything has reason, this requisite of philosophy Considering this endeavor is most important in the entire world for me have tried therefore not to grapple with all the wrong opinion accepted about knowledge

The power upon which to act rationally either in public or private life is the world of knowledge

Socrates is considered the wisest of all people from his youth upward was courageous, temperate, holy, free, and the like. He came to be what he imitated and all these virtues became his second Nature. Gifted of true nature of beauty and graceful fair senses, and the good in everything; beauty flowed into his senses like a breeze from a purer world, drawing into likeness and sympathy with reason. Truth is related to knowledge and posited as the aspect of being, apply an accepted standard that decides whether which is right or wrong. But the phenomenal of knowledge or the essential of knowledge is sheer intelligence and the criterion is not truth, but wisdom, insight, understanding, and perception.

The truth which consciousness has concerning self can by its essential principle embrace nothing less than the entire system of consciousness. is set forth in not as abstract, but as consciousness in virtue of consciousness.

I began writing philosophy on yellow legal pads graduated to a computer. I catalogued everything, which gave me truth and laws of nature. I could find no method more simple or more distinct I reasoned if not perfectly, at least as well as was in my mind. I would examine and re-examine filter and equate until no possibility of doubt.


Beginning and end are the limits of everything. One that has neither beginning nor end is unlimited. These are Zeno's paradoxes, likeness is or is not, what will be the consequences in either of these cases to other things, in relation both to themselves and to one another, and so of unlikeness; and the same holds good of motion and rest, of generation and destruction, and even of being and not-being. In a word, suppose anything to be or not to be, or to be in any way affected must look at the consequences, must look at them in relation to self and to anything else which you suppose either to be or not to be.


Pythagoras was greatly loved by his followers for his knowledge even today he has followers. The same as the followers of Zeus have a mind like him; therefore philosophical natures dedicated wholly to the upholding of truth, impersonate and not ashamed.


Like happy friends in a pilgrimage, live in light always. Philosophers the spectator of all time harmonious just and gentle, even in youth depends upon their self-control, meaning the better elements of the mind lead to order and reason and frees the virtuous elements of happiness.

What is interesting is how harmony based on ease; comfort, feeling, and passion depends on numbers. This seems remarkable; harmony is based on the fundamental two. The easiest way to explain is in a string instrument; half the string vibrates to the upper octave is the fundamental. The lengths of two strings are in ratio of 2:3, performs three vibrations in the same time as the other two perform, therefore the shorter gives out the fifth of the longer string. The fundamental tones have one vibration and the harmonic has two.

Ratio of the numbers of vibration in a harmony is as follows; if c makes one vibration, d makes 9/8, e makes 5/4, f makes 4/3, g makes 3/2, a makes 5/3, b makes 15/8, c makes two. How is harmony revealed? In the first place, when a string is made to vibrate it spontaneously divides it into ratios. Not only is the fundamental heard, but also the fifth of the higher harmony and the third of the higher harmony. An experienced musician hears also the second harmony of the fundamental and its double harmony. Thus notes are heard by the whole numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, a phenomenon of different sounds which are harmonic
It is easy to see why when a string emits its own note a third is heard, which proves notes can be aroused from a string without striking it, but by striking another or when a number of notes is played only one is heard.

All this rest on numerical relationship when strings that have certain relationship to each other are plucked simultaneously, only one is heard. For instance, the organ a stop makes a single key produce five tones and although each pipe its own tone.

The Philosophy of Mind is not mainstream stuff but is something of interest to all or at least what should be of interest to all. Pythagoras had a very strict rule in what he did each day; he believed each hour had purpose. In the morning directly after his rising he would set aside recalling to memory the history of the previous day. For he thought that what is to be done in the day depends chiefly on the previous day and whether the deeds in that day were done and if they were right or wrong.

Knowledge the process of discovery may be rightly is termed recollection. Those who know only remember. Knowledge is termed recollection because mind a recalls. Like an observer, once it is observed it is known. Knowledge is the instrument possesses enlightenment without it everything would be confused of what is essential and what is nonessential. Being right or wrong is the phenomenon of knowledge embraces the entire system of consciousness or more so the virtue of consciousness.

Be a arithmetician its the easiest way to arrive at knowledge. The masters of the art ridicule anyone who attempts to divide one when calculating, and that one shall continue one and not become lost in fractions0, whether the several objects are one or two.

Thus, distinction invites thought; if unity could adequately perceived by the sight or by any other senses, then there would be no need for calculation, but there is always some contradiction present and one is the reverse of one and involves the conception of plurality.

Come take a longer more circuitous journey to philosophy for nothing imperfect is the measure of anything, lets never stop short reason the most finished picture. Everyone finds in themselves reason as a centrality to extremes; it passes out of opinion above hypotheses into an intellectual plane that makes no use of images

Suppose I said the power and capacity of gaining knowledge exists in mind already? That all images dwelling in mind are imprinted by senses. That mind is supreme ruler, the autonomous self-determining, feeling, perceiving, reasoning, willing, and reflective system that determines logically our relationship with life.

Mind consists in the two forms, consciousness, and self-consciousness. All those visions that dwell in mind are imprinted by the intervention derived from reason.

What is remarkable is mind feels, perceives, reasons, wills and thinks in totality; its individual moments, consciousness, self-consciousness, reason, all at the same time, together constituting one moving process return is conviction Thus, consciousness, self-consciousness, reason, and spirit belong to knowing, assuming, appropriating and adopting distinctive form is developed in each consciousness.

Reason is spirit that pervades and permeates all aspects of being belongs to each individual is a spirit in its truth when consciousness and self-consciousness have come to terms.

Doubt negates opinion and prejudice rest upon belief brings about despair that proceeds straight away to criticism. But wait could it be possible that doubt is indeed the belief process. Wait and see whether those anxious feelings of doubt may well be the struggle to preserve self when lost.

Knowledge brings to light agitate mind’s thoughtlessness, disturbs mind’s indolence.

Disbelief is sure to pass by means of knowledge and good. Without knowledge, the instrument that possesses enlightenment everything would be confused of what is essential and what is not. Then being right or wrong is the phenomenon of knowledge embraces the entire system of consciousness or more so the virtue of consciousness.

Purpose is nothing else than pure ideal being, or pure thought within self that inner truth implicit power within self.

What makes purpose complete is belief, but belief is simply undifferentiated self-conscious ideal which has no support, cannot stand alone because it is merely ideal; has no inherent standpoint only.

Therefore, purpose is self-distinguishing self without any action because actions have consequences by outside influences belief is attacked and driven into alien and distant ends.

Purpose belongs to wholly inner self-specific determination. The will to move in pursuit of what interests you or what should interest you is reason. It renders things clear and intelligible and turns a negative outlook into a positive one, works and actualizes, and brings to bear in other words; reason brings to light and establishes something good and eternal.

Descartes, believed good is equally distributed; for every one is provided with reason and do not usually desire a larger measure of quality than what we already possess. Good in all is the power of judging right and wrong properly than those who forsake good, while they run fast, and good travels very slowly may yet make far greater progress.

The sweetness of learning is the ultimate absolute purpose here there can be nothing so remote that you cannot reason.

For the philosopher knowledge raises a pang of emotion in them regards knowledge worthy of affection. A mind rightly educated recognizes and salutes the noble and good spirit of philosophy,

Therefore, whenever perceiving something, either by the help of sight or hearing, knowledge must be there. Socrates carried out the command of the God of knowledge "Know Thyself" look in self at what is truth, for knowledge exist only by being acknowledged or known.


We sentient creature show outwardly our feelings; we emit sound, when in pain, need, hunger, repletion, pleasure, joyfulness. Even when in heat horses neigh, insects hum, cats purr the voice of the bird when it launches forth in song. Birds freely soar in the sky separated from the heaviness of the earth, utters self-feeling


Look at things as they really that the power and capacity of gaining knowledge exists in mind already, all those images that dwell in mind are imprinted in the mind. The pathway to knowledge has two companions, the intellectual world, and visible world. Intellectual world has the power of elevating.

The highest principle of being is purpose. A silent self-returning that has totality has vitality and retains in face of overwhelming influences to purpose. Know thy self is the beginning is pure knowing and because pure knowing is the absolute truth of purpose, nothing so remote that we cannot reason

Heaven and all creation would collapse and never again have motion or began without reason, which all-sensible creatures aim at. Purpose is skillfully disposed in mind with a view to render things clear and intelligible as a science, which contributes the advancement of a more correct conclusion regarding our thoughts, and prevents rhetoric. It is considered the greatest advantage to employ all the powers of our mind in choosing the paths we ought to follow.
